So, as I understood correctly, you are proposing we all quit using skype and wait until Karmic Koala is out? It's simply not gonna go. Pulseaudio breaks skype (and bunch of other apps) and should not be included (without _ANY_ integration testing it seems) in Ubuntu in the first place. Yes, I know, Pulse is The Right Thing and offers a bunch of great features but it breaks applications that many people need in everyday work. Most people use a very limited subset of functionality that a sound server offers - primarily software mixing and that can be achieved with plain ALSA (using dmix). As long as pulseaudio doesn't operate transparently enough for the legacy apps (yes, most of them broken and misusing ALSA, but that does change anything) to keep working, it NEEDS to be excluded from the stable Ubuntu release. So those workarounds are perfectly valid. On the side, the ONLY reason I choose Ubuntu over Debian for my laptop/desktop is the usually better support for 'everyday' apps. This bug is breaking that premise.
